Hold a crocodile at the Cuban Crocodile Farm, watch the smallest bird in the world, Bee Hummingbirds in the Zapata Swamp, see classic cars in Cienfuegos and tiled artwork at Fusterlandia. These are all part of the experiences that are included in the Virginia Living Museum's trip to Cuba Oct. 7-15, 2015.

This amazing nine-day trip explores Cuba as a land whose riches are found in the hearts of its people. Visit the largest swampland in the Caribbean, experience art and music in towns throughout the island. Visit: Havana, Cienega De Zapata, Cienfuegos, Trinidad, Santa Clara, Remedios and Caibarien.

This is a People to People Travel sponsored by Classic Escapes, and led by Page Hayhurst, Virginia Living Museum Executive Director. Hayhurst toured Cuba in April with a group of American museum and zoo professionals. "It was an incredible opportunity to experience Cuba now, before it changes as more doors open to American tourists."
